Gloria Cleary in Wedding CrashersMost Desperate Moment: Yes, bachelor divorce lawyers John (Owen Wilson) and Jeremy (Vince Vaughn) are the ones that infiltrate weddings in order to seduce available bridesmaids, but while attending the lavish nuptials of the daughter of the Secretary of the Treasury, Jeremy becomes the apple of Gloria's (Isla Fisher) obsessive eye. When she zeroes in on him, there's no escape. Desperate not to fall into the clutches of a "psycho clinger," Jeremy rebuffs all of her crazed advances. Determined to make all his fantasies come true, Gloria sneaks into his room at night, bounds and gags him to the bed... and rides him like a bronco.The Money Shot: Even after revealing to Jeremy that she misled him about being a virgin (because she figured that's what guys want to hear), Gloria breaks down the defenses of the ultimate bachelor and finally gets her man. More nuptials follow.

Humbert Humbert in Lolita (1962)Most Desperate Moment: How desperately smitten — and creepy — do you have to be to agree to marry a leopard-print-clad, sexually starved, aging widow (Shelley Winters as Charlotte Haze) just to get close to her gum-chewing, soda pop-sipping 14-year-old daughter? Well, that's exactly what Humbert (James Mason) does when he comes looking for a place to lodge and his gaze falls upon the sweet, blonde Delores "Lolita" Haze (Sue Lyon).The Money Shot: Soon after their marriage, Charlotte reads Humbert's diary and realizes he's been lusting after her teenage daughter all along. Upset, she tears out of the house and is promptly killed by a car. The path is now clear for Humpy to pick up little Lolita from Camp Climax (honestly) where she has been spending the summer, and they take a languorous road trip during which he introduces her to the pleasures he has so longed to explore. Gross? Perhaps. Illegal? Definitely.

Pee Wee, Billy, Tommy, Mickey, Tim, and Meat in Porky'sMost Desperate Moment: While watching the girls shower at the school gym through spy holes made into the tile at waist level, one of the guys shouts out, "Will you move it, you lard ass?" when his view is blocked by one of the more portly girls. Most of the girls flee the shower room, but a few stay to watch Tommy's proudest asset make its appearance through the spy hole. The attention Tommy (Wyatt Knight) desperately wants is not the type he gets when the gym teacher (appropriately named Beulah Balbricker) takes matters into her own hands.The Money Shot: The less endowed Pee Wee (Dan Monahan) is one of the last to lose his virginity, so the guys all head out to Porky's where, they've heard, they can have sex with the strippers for $100 an hour. But when the guys are swindled out of their money and humiliated, revenge becomes as important as the quest to get laid. Pee Wee finally loses his cherry to slutty Wendy (Kaki Hunter, who would reprise her role in Porky's 2 and Porky's Revenge) on a bus.

George Webber in 10Most Desperate Moment: Things for 42-year-old songwriter George Webber (Dudley Moore) and his girlfriend Sam (Julie Andrews) aren't going so well, so instead of having a normal middle-age crisis and buying a shiny red car, George obsessively follows newlywed bride Jenny (Bo Derek) all the way to Mexico where she's on her honeymoon. When he spots his perfect 10 on the beach emerging from the water in a gold one-piece, his infatuation with her — and America's obsession with corn rows on white women — reaches a fever pitch.The Money Shot: When Jenny's husband drifts out to sea, asleep on his surfboard, George saves his life. While her hubby recovers in the hospital, George gets Jenny to spend more and more time with him and soon discovers that her marriage is less traditional than he thought.

She's awkward and embarrassed and stalls at the undressing stage. An angry Randy thinks Angel's a tease and leaves. But later, as her feelings develop, Angel discovers that sex involves emotions and willingly gives herself over to Randy. (Campers having sex with counselors? It was 1980 after all.)

Tom Cruise, a bunch of boys on the make, booze, Tijuana, and a bordello? You do the math.
